North Carolina man held on charge of molesting 9-year-old girl in York County

YORK — A North Carolina man is being held without bond on York County charges that he molested a young girl two years ago.

Shawn L. Mclain, 40, of the 500 block of Oci Drive, in Jacksonville, was arrested in North Carolina and extradited to Virginia on Dec. 10. He is charged with a single felony count of aggravated sexual battery of a child under the age of 13, said Sgt. Dennis Ivey Jr., a York- Poquoson Sheriff's Office investigator.

Mclain is being held without bond at the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled in York-Poquoson Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court on March 3, a jailer said.

Ivey said the charges involve inappropriate touching of a girl who was 9-years-old at the time of the single incident that is alleged to have occurred between Sept. 1 and 18, 2008. Mclain is known to the girl's family and the incident is alleged to have taken place at a York County residence, Ivey said.

Ivey said the investigation has been ongoing since January, 2009, during which time Mclain served jail time in North Carolina and fought extradition to Virginia.
